Electronic engineering

capacitive diaphragm

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A metal plate deliberately placed in a waveguide to introduce capacitive reactance and, thereby, cancel an inductive reactance.

arcing ring

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A metal ring placed around an insulator in a high-voltage electrical system. This keeps an arc from charring or breaking the insulator.

alloy

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A metal that is a mixture of several other metals (e.g., brass from copper and zinc), or of a metal and a nonmetal.

cavity

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A metallic chamber (can) in which energy is allowed to reflect, sometimes resulting in resonance.

depletion-enhancement-mode MOSFET

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A metal-oxide- semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) designed for zero gate-bias voltage. An ac gate signal voltage drives the MOSFET alternately into the depletion mode (negative signal ...

A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) in which the channel directly under the gate electrode is narrowed by a negative gate voltage (in an n-channel device) or by a positive ...
